Astra**
The last turn to her house, The memory of how she had left home with anger this morning came flooding back. Her personal Assistant who was supposed to be competent in her work was running in and out of the guest toilet. at about ten in the morning, before she took her bathe and past eleven after she has dressed up. after making sure she was dressed and ready, she couldn't help but called her assistant on the phone. as she was supposed to have been with her already, the other line rang for a while without response and she immediately dialed Phil's line. her chief bodyguard and the closest one to her "get Lizzy for me!" she screamed into the phone as soon as the other line connected. She didn't wait for Phil's response as she disconnected the phone and sat on her bedroom sofa.
Some minutes past and Lizzy haven't joined her yet. Her phone rang she saw the caller. It was Phil so she picked up the call "I'm sorry Miss, but Lizzy is having an upset stomach. She won't be able to make it upstairs to you". she didn't wait for him to finish his sentence as she hung up the call, picked up her purse and headed downstairs to her car. She took her car keys and walked out. "Someone should get the papers from Phil's for me!" She yelled almost at the top of her voice, almost everyone start running in different directions to look for Phil. Her chauffeur, Stiles was the first to rush out to her with the files.
Astra collected the files and walked towards one of her mini sport car. the chauffeur raced after her to open the back seat door for her, she shook her head "Move away from the car Stiles I won't be held responsible for knocking someone down". She said, as one of the guards rush to open the driver's seat door for her.
She got in and zoomed off without glancing back leaving traces of dust and everyone present in that mansion knew for sure that their young Miss Astra is upset.
_Phils POV
After receiving a call from the young miss, phil decided to check up on Lizzy in the guest room only to find her sprawled on the cold floor looking all pale and drained. He called out to her and as he move closer to her, he hear her whisper something incoherent to him "my stomach.....i..i..it...hurt a lot, she said amidst tears.
Phil helped her to get on her feet then he walked her to the bed, but Lizzy doesn't want to stay in bed, she stubbornly wants to go upstairs to Astra probably because she was scared she might loose her job. "You need to rest Miss Liz, Young Miss could prove to be difficult sometimes but she also cherish human life." He said.
She wanted to argue forward but then it will prove that what he just said about the young Miss cherishing human life was a lie, so she just follow his lead to the bed "I will call the doctor, to come check up on you". he assured her. After making sure she had laid comfortably on the bed.
He was about turning the door nob when he hear her questioning him "Where's Miss Myles?".
"She's gone" was his brief reply, as he walked out of the room to call in the maid to tend to her needs. Deep in his thoughts he knew, with or without Lizzy, Astra can never mess up her appointment.
Astra in her car°°°
_"Earth to Astra", she said to herself as she took the last turn towards her villa. Immediately her house came to veiw she could see the guards standing outside, Phil and the employees villa's doctor discussing something. probably about Lizzy's prescription. "What has gotten into his head, I see he doesn't care about his employer anymore." she said to herself as she drove past them to her parking lot. As soon as she parked the car, her other guards was already at the car door knob as he opened the door for her. Picking her purse she stepped down from the car but didn't notice a kneeling silhouette of someone close to her feet, if not for her fast reflexes she would have ran into her. "jeez! Liz, what are you doing here?" she questioned her.
"I'm sorry Miss Myles, I should have been more careful." please don't fire me". she pleaded with her hand in the air.
"How is your health Liz?."
"Health is wealth Liz,
Were the only reply Lizzy got as she didn't wait for her reply nor even glance towards her the second time. As she was seen walking elegantly towards the main building to her room upstairs. Lizzy can't help herself as she was so weak and couldn't find the strength in her feet. she knelt there as seconds turn to minutes and minutes keeps counting her phone beep but she was reluctant to check, After some minutes she reached out to the phone in her pocket and saw one message from Miss Myles "Set an appointment for Mister lorgan and my legal advisor next week, make sure to inform the both party." she jumped up as she had gotten more energy from the message she just received "Miss Myles didn't fire me" she tried so hard to muffled her scream and joy, as she already looks so energetic for someone who has been bedridden for the past six hours.
Somewhere in her room, Astra couldn't help but start undressing before she reached the shower,the only thing on her mind was to nap and before napping she needs to take a cold shower so she can finally give her body the beautiful rest it need. After a quick shower she happens to look through the window and her eyes caught the silhouette of Liz still kneeling in that same position she had left her, "What is she still doing there?"
"I don't remember firing her" she said to herself as she tried to recall their conversation. "maybe she didn't get my message right" so she took her phone and message her. after some minutes Astra could be seen looking out of the window with a small smile plastered on her face as she moved satisfyingly towards her bed to have a beauty nap.
